In Culture Club, we have three main priorities. First, raising awareness on the effects of forms of racism including systemic, casual, online, direct and indirect racism. Second, supporting students who experience it. And thirdly, to celebrate the cultural diversity at Fort Street through cultural events and activities that better connect us all.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Right now, we are actively brainstorming ways for the school community to engage with the diverse cultures present in Fort Street. Often, we are simply aware of how culturally diverse we are, but we don&#8217;t quite know a lot about it. We aim to set up events that focus on particular cultural events for a diverse range of communities and bring forward activities that reflect traditional customs. We&#8217;re looking forward to potentially celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, Diwali and Eid\/Ramadan\u00a0in the coming future \u2013 and would love for anyone to join to participate in the fun planning process! We also hold a multicultural potluck every meeting, so bring a plate and share with your friends!<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">One of our biggest goals is to make it easier for students at the Fort to speak up and report any form of racism, whether that be as a witness or being affected directly. We will discuss how racism can be reported during our next school assembly.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">If you&#8217;re passionate about celebrating cultural diversity and delivering cultural events so we can all learn about the diverse nature of the school community, we deeply encourage you to join Culture Club! Here, you can expect to meet new people and learn more about different cultures and their traditions. You don&#8217;t need any experience, just an open mind. We meet <b>twice a term, on Friday lunch of Week 4 and 8 in K17<\/b>. Join using the google classroom code and simply show up to the next meeting! Make sure to invite your friends too!<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><strong>muc5clrd<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><i>Nancy Zhang<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><i>Culture Club\u00a0President \u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><i>Fort Street High School Student Anti-Racism Network<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culture Club is a student-led, initiative focused club that is focused on celebrating cultural diversity at Fort Street.\u00a0 We aim to create a more inclusive and respectful space within the school community by challenging racism and proposing ways to combat this.
